Guild Wars 2

Can they also finally answer a ticket I submitted for GW1 2 weeks ago also? They asked for some information on my GW1 account 2 weeks ago that I provided and now I’m not hearing anything else back after repeated attempts to re-contact and update, but no responses…

Bought 800 gems to buy myself 2 packs of Mini’s and a Dye pack about 5-10 minutes ago. Bought the 2 Mini packs first, and then the Dye pack. It charged me all 800 of the gems, but it only delivered 1 Mini pack and 1 Dye pack. So now I’m out 300 gems with no delivery of the 2nd Mini pack.

Can I get some help with this and either get that 2nd Mini pack delivered or the gems refunded?

Psisah, what spec are you using currently with that setup?

Nobody else with any ideas on Longbow and how to make it a more viable WvW burst build?

Edited the first post to include the correct build for what I have currently. Thanks for pointing that out Mox. As for yours Reg, thanks for the link, but my biggest problem with that spec is the reliance on very long cooldown abilities to be able to do any extra burst, and that’s over with very quickly.

Mox, after looking at the correct spec, and any others new to this thread, what are some good suggestions?

As the title states, just hit 80 tonight and looking for a burst build using Longbow for WvW. I know most people think Shortbows are better, but I prefer the slightly longer range you can trait out with Longbow, and Rapid Fire and Barrage make for great burst + aoe ability, that the Shortbow just doesn’t bring for WvW.

Just kind of been going with stuff that sounded good so far. Here’s my current build.
30 Marksmanship with Steady Focus, Piercing Arrows and Eagle Eye
25 Skirmisher with Pet’s Prowess and Quick Draw
10 Wilderness Survival with Expertise Training
5 Nature Magic

Using a Longbow + Greatsword, with the Healing Spring heal. Sharpening Stone, Signet of the Hunt, and Quickening Zephyr, and for the elite, Rampage as One.

Longbow is what I’m set on, but I’m looking at possibly changing Greatsword out to Sword + Warhorn. Can anyone else who’s doing mostly WvW recommend some great builds to try out? Looking for a good mix of damage output with range and some good melee survivability. Thought of maybe doing Shortbow + Longbow and using Barrage and Rapid Fire/Hunter’s Shot for initial burst/aoe and using Shortbow for rest. Thanks.

Edit Forgot to mention, using Lynx + Jaguar for pets. Pet suggestions are welcome also

As the title states, I was transferring from Tarnished Coast server with my guild to the Eredon Terrace server. When I clicked into the transfer, the game locked up and sat there for probably 15 minutes before I closed the game out. Now when I’m trying to log back in, the game is giving me an error saying it cannot access the login servers at the time. Something like error code 42, the one that it says usually when the servers are down for patching, but I have another friend who’s transfer went through at the exact same time with no problems.

Can I get some support on this and get this taken care of? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies to my particular parts of the questions also. I want to do a lot of the leveling in WvW on the new Necromancer, because that’s a heck of a lot more fun than PvE. Will Scepter/Dagger still provide good aoe conditions, or is that more of a PvE focused weapon setup?

I’d be interested to find out some opinions on this as well. Keep trying to get into Necro in GW2 since I enjoyed one in the first game. I just can’t seem to get one past level 10 before deleting it, not finding a combo I’m enjoying, but another big thing is I’m just not getting to the traits and deeper in utility abilities which I’m sure change how the class plays a lot more to where I’d enjoy the class.

I was looking to do dagger/focus also for my weapon setup. And what’s the deal with the starting heal ability? Is it really as crappy as it seems and I should just unlock a new one? Having a low hp, high aggro pet that attacks very slowly for my “passive” healing", no pet hp bar to watch, and losing the heal altogether if the pet dies, seems bad.

You were given 2 varying answers, and I gave a pretty good explanation on my part. If you need more testing, go to the Mists and play around with the Runes and Sigils there. Moping on the forums won’t fix your problems.

Well, I’ve done basically 40-nearly 70 in WvW running with my guildmates, and I’m stacked power/precision/crit damage as much as I can while leveling out there, and I’m finding myself doing respectable damage, and when using abilities right, having pretty decent survivability. With the Longbow knockback, gives you extra ranged time, and then swap to greatsword when you are forced, and it’s got good built in defensive abilities as well.

If the person is dead before they can really get to you, you don’t need the extra toughness and vitality, but that’s just my experience up to now. I won’t speak for when I actually get to 80, but I don’t see the mechanics changing, just the stats level.

I’m looking at using Blood sigil on my greatsword for added melee staying power, and Fire for the aoe flame burst on my Longbow. As for runes, I’m looking to get 6/6 of the Pack runes, lots of power, a nice 100 precision at the end, and a 5% chance to apply might, fury and swiftness to nearby allies when you attack.

I’ll be running with a group of guildmates in WvW and we’re all looking to eventually have Of The Pack runes, so we can stack those buffs relatively easy to allow for easier domination.

Just gotta put 4 level 78 exotic longbows in the forge and then combine them and hope for the best.

Alright, thanks. Now at least I know I gotta collect lvl 78 exotic longbows and just hope to get lucky

So just reforge 4 longbows in the mystic forge? Level 80, and I assume they have to be exotics also? Thanks for posting up some info.

Up to 180 views and no responses? Someone out there, somewhere knows. Please help all the rest of us other rangers out who are curious to know.

So, as the title says, curious to know where the Eir’s Longbow item comes from? Is it a drop? Seen several people who said they have it and now that I’m getting higher level, looking to find ways to go about getting one for myself. Thanks.

I went with the name Erin Macha for my Sylvari Ranger. The Sylvari seem to draw from celtic/gaelic styled names, and to my knowledge, Erin is sorta celtic for Peace, and Macha is War.

Of course, I could be completely wrong on that, but if I am, I don’t wanna know and have her name spoiled. So shush.
